If they had beaten Mora 17-1 instead of 11-4 and Sauk Rapids 10-0 instead of 6-0 in the regular season they would have gotten a #1 seed (according to other coaches in the section, FACT).

No, that's not what I said. I was more so raising a question. Should they beat these teams 20-0 in the future to get a one seed or play with tact which they did? People attack this coach saying he's classless, when the reality is he did all he could do to keep games against weaker competition close all year. One game gets out of hand and people are calling for his head.

MHGr8ness,

You want me to out my sources over an anonymous message board? If I outed my sources I would no longer have sources and, in turn, no longer have truthful information to inform you with.

Additionally, I was raising a question regarding whether or not they should run up the score in the future since the coaches requested it...not saying that they ran up the score because of it (they didn't even run the score up, could have been 30-0).

As I have said before, MHGr8ness isn't out here arguing whether or not 17-1 is classless. He's on this message board trying to make the team he hates look bad. Otherwise, he would comment on the fact that Grant Besse scored to make it 9-0 over Armstrong the other night with 1 minute left in the game and countless other teams routed inferior opponents throughout the season.

It's not worth the time in this pissing match to battle someone who isn't trying to bring morality issues to the forefront, but trying to make a particular team and coach look bad.

Maybe it's time for the MSHSL to bring back the reading of the sportsmans code by players from both teams before the game to prevent events such as this. Oh the good ol' days.

Ask your kid what they would rather have happen. I asked my kids they said they would rather be scored on then having a team play keep away from them.

If the worst thing that ever happens to the kids in the other team is losing a game 17-1 than they've lived a pretty stress free life.

This comes every year.
Yes, imo it is classless

No, I have never been the head coach

No, IDK if I would let my state title running team run up the score...

When you are on the 1 or 0 side .... as a parent or player, you DO appreciate the sportsmanship of the other team not winning by 10, 20.... whatever...

Just facts

But it's not facts. There have been plenty of people in this thread (and every other like it, myself included) who have posted about being on the losing end and very few say they would want the other team to stop playing hard.

And, actually, you are the first person in the 80 or so posts to identify as parent/player of the losing team and say you'd prefer them to not keep playing (assuming that's what you mean by not win by a lot). I'm curious what you'd have a team in this situation do, or even this team specifically...

I'm also curious why zero of the responsibility ever seems to fall on the shoulders of the other team.

What part of my post is not fact?
I stated what I thought.the fact is that is my opinion..how is that not factual..

I really don't know what I would do, thus I said I have never been the head coach...

I knew before I posted that everyone who posts on these threads wants to keep getting scored on...awesome
so ny question is: what the hell fight are you fishing for hshw???

Well, when you are trying to justify this type of marketing, every point counts

As long as everyone gets juice boxes and fishy crackers, isn't this still a,tie?!??

How about Hanowski chasing the state scoring record a few years ago, and in the process running up the score on almost exclusively sub-par programs?

He played for a small school program its all good.

Teams lose by lopsided scores every day in amateur sports.

Its better to be badly beaten than to be pitied by the other team.

Playing keep away doesn't show respect.

Maybe we should just get it over with and handicap hockey and spot the higher handicapped teams goals.

Hermantown moving on!
